12 Days of Easter

My friend Tori shared this great idea with our Relief Society {church women’s organization} last week and I loved it. So, I came up with my own batch of eggs for a …

Just gather together these supplies:
12 plastic eggs
a sharpie {or if you’re really fancy – which I’m not – some cut vinyl numbers}
paper, pen, scissors 
list of trinkets below – all of which are easily found around your house

I googled “12 days of Easter” to get my list. It ended up being a little different than Tori’s. There are several variations on the first page of the google search. So search there if you don’t like my list.

I used a list similar to this one from Mom Always Finds Out – HERE.

Write the scripture references on a piece paper then cut into 12 strips. I also included a short sentence summarizing the scriptures but that’s not totally necessary.

Tuck the paper strip and the gift/trinket listed in parentheses into each egg.

Number the eggs.

And pile them in a pretty little basket.

Take one egg out each night in succession, look up the scripture in your Bible, and let your children hold the trinket and learn hands-on more about the Savior. This is such a great way to help children learn the true meaning of why we celebrate Easter, and a really good reminder for us adults too. 🙂

    I don’t mind since I got it from someone else! However I wished I looked up the scripture earlier!! I must say I just love how you photograph everything, I’m still in the learning phases but I continue to love the ‘eye candy’ your blog produces! 🙂

    This is a great idea. Even though it's too late for the 12 days, I'm still making a set and will probably do it sometime this weekend.

    The blog linked (Ordinary Mom) is marked private, so I am not allowed to see it. Any way you can share the list?

      What a bummer! I didn’t realize she went private. I put in a link to another site that is pretty similar. Thanks for letting me know!
